My New Path to Happiness

After reading Regrets of 90 Somethings, I feel like I've been given a gift of a secret to happiness.  I'm changing my attitude and interactions with our kids.  Up to now, I've been primarily focused on raising them to be successful adults, sometines being too hard on them.    Now I will spend more effort and time on enjoying them as they grow up, while still providing necessary guidance. 

I think I will be happier and so will they :-)

Regrets of 90 Somethings

Here is an interesting article about the "regrets" of nonagenerians.   Top regrets were:

• They regretted not cultivating closer relationships with their children.
• They regretted not putting their children on the right path in life.
• They regretted not taking risks to be more loving, such as being more open about their feelings for new people or more affectionate with those already in their lives.
• They regretted not being better listeners; they wish they had been more empathetic and considerate.
• They regretted not spending enough time with the people they loved.

Surprisingly, the biggest regrets weren't about career, missed opportunities, or things not achieved.
